Walking through the door this morning, the children were talking about how they have mittens to give other kids who can’t buy there own. It is so heartwarming to hear three and four year old talking about the importance of giving to others. We started our mitten activity by reading The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. As we distributed mittens, the boys and girls sorted them by color. After that, we sorted them into three categories: stripes, solid color and design. Using an oversized graph, the children were graphing whizzes! To finish our graph, the children identified the category with the largest amount of mittens (the design category), and ordered the mittens from numbers one to eleven. We tried on a few different types of mittens, but we all decided it would be best to give to those in need! Thank you very much for all of your generous donations and for helping us teach your child the importance of giving back. We had mitten success!
